Serve God and Others

What is the ultimate duty of a Christian?

We are saved through Christ, but not just to make it into Heaven. We have a duty to perform before leaving this people planet. That is the act of service. It's similar to being drafted into the military; being drafted is like being called by God, but then there is active duty that follows.

God has given each of us unique gifts and talents that are specially designed to do His work. Every one's not what we call a "people person" but we are all "people people" to God. We are the ones that God has chosen to reach others and to glorify Him. Think about it, you were saved because of something someone did or said that changed your life. A stone didn't fall from Heaven a hit you on the head, getting you saved, right?

Remember, your life should be committed to serving God and others. That simply means whatever God speaks in your heart to do, do it! Set aside a time each day to talk to God. Listen to His direction and follow it. Do whatever you can for someone else. Share Jesus with others and help to make their lives better because of the resident power of God within you.

"For you, brethren, have been called to liberty...through love serve one another." - Gal. 5:13

"For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men." - Rom. 14:18

Finally, Jesus said, "If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor." - John 12:26

Be Blessed!
